  1. 5/5I was at the Mercedes dealership

    I met a very thoughtful person at Mercedes who recommended MarketWatch his son had graduated from Yale and was making $375,000 a year. When I was talking to him, he said I took making money very seriously at a young age. He’s going to Cal Polytechnic. I thought he was a very nice person from then on the sort. It was a golden touch.. He was 81 years old and he was having his 450 Mercedes worked on for a broken window. When I drove down Gene Autry Dr. I was amazed to see how many nice homes that were in a very nice residential area and nobody was happy about Arnold Schwarzenegger. That’s good news. I was having my 450s Mercedes and an annual check up.

  2. 2/5Content is good, scrolling through and navigation needs serious work

    I’ve been a long time MarketWatch viewer, but mostly from a computer. Recently using the app, I’ve come to dislike the navigation feel in terms of the scroll through and then stop. Once you put the finger down after a scroll, the app immediately thinks you’re trying to access the article rather than to stop the scroll. This is very frustrating because I don’t mean to read these articles, I just was curious about the headline. Furthermore, the back navigation from an article needs work. The back arrow in the top left does not have good function. It takes a few tries to finally go back. Due to these reasons, I cannot use this app for news. It takes too long to actually scroll through and read what I want because I’m constantly trying to take caution in how I scroll. The feel of the app doesn’t feel high quality unfortunately.

  3. 1/5Just Plain Bad

    This app is awful - first off, you can’t get all the index pricing information that the desktop version has. Where’s the crypto tab? Secondly, the UX is awful - placing your finger on the screen for even an instant (to stop scrolling for example) is interpreted as a click on an article. Then guess what, you have to go back to your previous article and re-click the stupid “read more” button again. Same thing happens when you scroll left to right - the article or table you’re reading will interpret that as a full swipe, and you’ll be taken back to the homepage mid-article. I’m shocked the team hasn’t fixed this yet. Finally, this isn’t about the app, but just your content in general - can you tell the content team to ax Moneyish asap? That is the worst set of articles ever...I mean, I get you’re trying to appeal to millennials (who, given the types of stuff you’re posting on there, must not understand a darn thing about finance), but maybe it’s time for them to read real market and stock related material for a change? You guys don’t have to dumb it down so much with these pseudo finance articles...the market is fun to read about as is. Thanks.

  4. 4/5App falls way short of potential

    This app has all the ingredients to be something good: stock prices news analysis and more. Unfortunately, they managed to foul up the train wreck: Half the news stories are celebrity gossip, not market news. It is difficult to browse headlines on this app, they feed you the stories they want you to see them only those stories. For every story that they do provide, it is buried in 40 or 50 Clickbait ads. Search results are very poor. It’s difficult to go back if you click on the wrong thing. In short, I hate this app. It is frustrating to use for anything other than following one or two stocks or indexes.

  5. 1/5Fix Watchlist

    I have always been content with MarketWatch. It’s not the best market resource there is, but it’s simple and easy to use. The main reason I use marketwatch is to check my different watchlists. Well, for the past two weeks, watchlist doesn’t even work. I’ve logged in and logged out plenty of times on the app, every once in a while it will show my watchlist stocks again only for them to be gone again the next time I open the app. Yesterday I deleted MarketWatch and redownloaded it to try and solve the problem once and for all. It worked yesterday, but sure enough I open the app this morning and none of my stocks are displaying in any of my watchlists. Given that this is the majority of my use for MarketWatch, I have rated it 1 Star and will leave this rating until it is fixed. I will also be using Yahoo Finance instead, and may delete MarketWatch as it is now unnecessary space on my phone. If this is fixed I will probably amend this decision, but until then I have no use for MarketWatch.
